We do not question for one moment that in a joint 
trial of several accused persons, a Magistrate should proceed in the same way as a jury or assessors would be directed to proceed. He must consider the case against each accused separately, being careful to distinguish the evidence admissible against one 
accused from that admissible against another. He must resist any temptation to bolster up a weak case against one accused by reference to evidence properly admissible only against some other accused (or by looking at the evidence as a whole).\rquote }{
